Spanish police removed more than 800 migrants from the streets of Ceuta, transferring them to a new temporary tent camp. The humanitarian operation, conducted by the Spanish government, covered 864 people who had been camping outdoors in the Loma Colmenar area.
Madrid authorities are preparing to open a facility with capacity for 300 women and children. This new centre aims to improve reception conditions for these migrants in the autonomous city.
The plan of the Spanish authorities includes exceeding six thousand reception places in the autonomous city of Ceuta, which is a Spanish enclave in North Africa and a frequent entry point for migrants attempting to reach Europe.
